The U.S. is among the most dangerous developed nations in which to give birth.
The March of Dimes 2020 Report Card found that for the fifth year in a row, the U.S. preterm birth rate increased to 10.2 percent of births, earning the nation a “C-” grade. The statistics are worse for moms and babies of color—with the Report Card showing significant racial disparities that cut across maternal and infant health. Women of color are up to 50 percent more likely to give birth preterm and their children face up to a 130 percent higher infant death rate.
The March of Dimes has a lot of wins among legislation, life-saving research, programs and educational initiatives, but there is so much more that needs to be done.
I joined the movement to create positive change for moms and babies everywhere, especially those most at risk.
